Helluva Boss: Truth Seekers (2021)
Acid Trip of Realisation:Success
Plot-Its engaging with a fast pace and subsitution between two plots that serve a purpose. It also has emotional beats like the bad trip and the talk Moxxie and Blitzø had after the truth serum had cleared up. I overall found this an episode worth watching in order to get a deeper dive into Blitzø as a character, and his relationship with Moxxie. 10/10
Humor-I found this an incredibly funny episode with the jokes during the D. H. O. R. K. S interrogation and some of the lyrics for the bad trip like 'the world is your anus,so peg it with honesty' Even tho the jokes werent as frequent,it doesn't stop this episode from being great. 6/10
Visuals:They really upped the ante with this one. Love the dark aesthetic and variety found in a transition between Moxxie's disney-esque style and Blitzø's dystopian art style during the bad trip. The final battle scene was well-choreographed and exciting, showing off each I. M. P's fighting styles well and painting each as unique. Also the red and black lighting when Stolas is in full demon form is incredible and gave me chills from just looking at it. 10/10
Music:'Moxxie's bad trip' was excellent and memorable. The switch in between genre's based on which hallucination we're in is creative in its own right. Stolas's theme during his full demon transformation moved me. It is a piece of musical art. 8/10
Voice acting:Brandon Rogers,Richard Horvitz,Vivian Nixon,Erica Lindbeck,Michael Romeo Ruocco,Erica Lutterell and Bryce Pinkham brought this whole phenomenon to life. The delivery was just...i have no words for good they were. It was responsible for why i felt 3 mood transitions in just 22 minutes. 10/10
Theme Execution-The exploration of the platonic dynamic between Blitzø and Moxxie was incredible. I liked how it was done as the two seemed to get along before being left with the truth serum and tensions rise. And then, the said tensions were emphasized when Blitzø's fear of dying alone and self-sabotage tendencies that push others away was rubbed in his face. But at the end of the song sequence, the two have a much-needed talk after coming face- to-face the truth. From there, they actually made progress and proved their relationship is flawed,but there was still warmth and platonic respect and care for each other, and that they are working on being better friends to each other. 10/10
Overall:9/10 This was a spectacular episode that proved what Helluva Boss is at its peak. This episode was what prompted me to really get into this episode and is the start of Helluva Boss becoming more nuance while still keeping humor,cool visuals and all the sex jokes and violence sandwiched in between the new sense of emotional impact thats been scarce in most episodes(except Loo Loo Land)
Helluva Boss: Spring Broken (2021)
Guilty Pleasure of Mine
Plot-Its....back to the pacing issues....they're still there and all over the place. And there was so much potential for the relationships it could have explored furthur(Examples:Blitz and Loona,Loona and Vortex,Blitz and Verosika) But instead it achieved none,failed to explore on the potential it hinted at with only a few scenes that end up underdeveloped at the end of the episode. 2/10
Humor:As usual,Helluva Boss gave me a lot of humor examples...(Loona's awkwardness around Vortex,Drunk Moxxie,Blitz and Verosika Banter) So,overall,humor's still pretty good....tho its not having me laughing all the way. 6/10
Visuals:The visuals are still good as always,eye candy still intact,this time with pink backgrounds for majority of the episode considering who is in this as a guest star. The variety is somewhat there, with Pride Ring's Red sky,the pink sunset setting of the beach on Earth, and also the neon vibe that can be felt in Verosika's office. 8/10
Music:Mustang Dong and Vacay to Bonetown are huge highlights that should be added to Helluva Hits! They're incredible,tho theres still no notable or outstanding background music for the most part,outside of Verosika's brief background music in her office. 7/10
Voice acting:Brandon Rogers,Richard Horvitz,Vivian Nixon,Erica Lindbeck,Cristina Vee,James Monroe Iglehart and many others did a great job of making this a guilty pleasure of mine. 10/10
Theme Execution:T-theres.....no theme? Well,probably. This episode's plot structure was so confusing,i got absolutely no takeaways on how the characters changed from this episode. 0/10
Overall:5.5/10 This was an absolute mess in terms of story. But theres still enough good humor,spectacular visuals,musical numbers that go hard,and last but not least, the expressive and likability that brings iconic lines to life by the talented voice cast. All of these help to make this actually somewhat bearable to sit through.
Helluva Boss: Loo Loo Land (2020)
Amazing father-daughter day trip
Plot:The pacing's not off and the story structure is pretty good. Only problem is that the side plots are a bit distracting. 9/10
Humor:Loads of good ones(examples:Millie headbutting into Blitz's office,Octavia's interactions with the main cast,the loo loo land mascot being a pervert,Robo Fizz,Blitz burning down loo loo land,stolitz interactions) 10/10
Visuals:Lots of variety and pure eye candy. The neon purples,blues and greens in certain backgrounds deserve a shoutout. 10/10
Music:Loo Loo Land and You will be Okay are amazing songs in their own right and earned spots in my favourite song playlist.
7/10
Voice acting:Brandon Rogers,Richard Horvitz,Vivian Nixon,Erica Lindbeck,Bryce Pinkham,Barrett Wilbert Weed,Alex Brightman and many others did amazing at bringing out the humor. Extra kudos to Bryce Pinkham and Barrett Wilbert Weed for the emotional scene. It was magical....10/10
Theme execution:I feel like the theme here is more or less on family dynamics,specifically the one between Stolas and Octavia. I love this theme this time around. Its not only sweet to see their relationship start to heal(sorta), but also to delve deeper into the characters' complexity and life. 10/10
Overall:9.3/10. This was an amazing episode. It was fun,sweet,sad and hilarious. Its a wild ride that i can't wait to sit on with other episodes!
Helluva Boss: Murder Family (2020)
Not bad
Plot:Its certainly structured better. Its not mind-blowing,but its not bad. The pacing on the other hand is way too fast. 6/10.
Humor:Its not as good as the pilot. I didn't laugh half as much. There were still some good jokes in there(ex. Stolas's dirty talk,Moxxie's italian accent and Blitzø's quippy dialogue in general) 6/10
Visuals:It has more variety in comparison to the pilot due to the setting. I like the variety and each setting is holy to behold. 8/10
Music:The music's kinda just ok in this one. The teacher song isn't as charming as the I. M. P jingle. 6/10
Voice acting:Brandon Rogers,Richard Horvitz,Vivian Nixon,Erica Lindbeck,Mara Wilson, Jinkx Monsoon and Bryce Pinkham all did amazing for this episode. 10/10
Theme execution:I know this isn't an educational show, but the moral's kinda....horrible. I know its hell,but in my opinion,it would have been nice to get a more morally in between takeaway for this episode....and the way its done is ok,but the overly quick pacing kind of hinders it a bit. 3/10
Overall:6.5/10. A vast improvement from the pilot with a good story structure. Not my favourite, but not too bad for its first episode outing.(the pilot is now not canon)
Helluva Boss: Pilot (2019)
Kind of mediocre
Plot-Its executed.....huh? Its a bit all over the place as the pilot was supposed to introduce characters but ended up playing with one too many scenarios,ending up with a confusing and off the walls plot thats poorly constructed. The story's not bad but the plot structure is god awful. 4/10
Humor:Its...pretty good. I laughed a lot and the characters' charm does add on to the humor. One of my personal favs is the ones where Blitz spies on M&M. 7/10
Visuals:The animation is fun and dynamic. The surroundings are beautiful to look at and has variety....sort of. 7/10
Music:I absolutely love the I. M. P jingle. Its not broadway material but its silly and fun. Theres not much outstanding background music tho. 7/10
Voice Acting:Brandon Rogers,Richard Horvitz,Erica Lindbeck,Brock Baker all did amazing on voice acting. Millie's wasn't as engaging as the others for this one,but its still pretty good. 9/10
Theme execution:It has no theme. Its just to introduce I. M. P without a proper story. 0/10
Overall:5.6/10(Entertaining bit kinda meh in writing)
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)
My top 1 film of all time
Story execution:10/10
-It is the character arcs that move the story foward, which is what i love about this film
-They could have been lazy and just make it overly funny and generic, but they made it action-packed, emotional, funny and a bit scary all in 1 film.
Pacing:10/10
-The pacing is overall decent, with a really quick pace, but also gives the film some time to breathe for a slower scene, to allow the emotional core of the film to shine
Character Writing:10/10
-They gave the characters enough depth for those with conflicts and arcs to resolve by the end of the film
-As for the others, they at least have likable and funny personalities for the audience to enjoy
-I personally love that Perrito isn't just ur cliche annoying sidekick, but a likable one with the wisdom to contrast Puss's flaws, like an efficent deuteragonist
Music:10/10
-The sound of the score really helps to compliment the scenes in the movie instead of contrasting it, allowing us to feel a certain vibe that we are supposed to in the scene.
-The songs are great to listen to. The lyrics of 'Fearless hero' introduces us to Puss as a character, and 'Por Que Te Vas' lyrics fits the vibe of the scene in the movie. 'La vida es una' at the end has lyrics that reminds us of the theme of the movie
Visuals:10/10
-The spider-verse animation has an anime vibe to it, making the fight sequences more exciting
-And it also has a painted fairytale style to it instead of copying the comic book style from Into the spider-verse
Voice acting:10/10
-The voice acting is top tier and very expressive, bringing out the character traits in each of the characters. Especially Wagner Moura, who's voice as Death sends chills down your spine
Theme execution:9/10
-It is generally well done, with the themes of appreciating your life being very well fleshed out, along with others.
-However, using Perrito's easy path prevented it from being fleshed out perfectly as they should have made them face challenges that make every part of Perrito's path scary, and it would teach Puss to value the things he have, even when everyrhing seems bleak. It would also have brought out the fact that behind Perrito's optimism, his life's trauma fgets fleshed out in this seemingly safe path.
Rewatchability:For me, I can def rewatch this. Not 24/7, but if u play this, i will prob drop everything to watch this
Overall score:9.8/10.
